Remember that stubborn little nickel
That rolled under the bed
It may as well be lost
Or stuck inside the mattress
Long gone from memory
How would you have used it
If you knew just where it was
To buy some penny stocks
Or pay tax on argyle socks
C’mon it’s just five cents
Missing from a child’s hand
Who tossed it in a pool
Then dove down to retrieve
That very gift you gave one day
It surfaced with a smile
Worth a million more
Instead the stubborn little nickel
Rests beside a dust bunny
